Gallery C

Gallery C has been selling fine art from North Blount Street in Raleigh since 1985, and it is one of the Southeast’s leading galleries. Charlene Ferrell Newsom, a North Carolina native, founded it and still runs it as president.

Its work has put artists in front of serious private collectors and museums. Beyond the exhibitions, the gallery does framing, rents out its space, runs a guest artist program and keeps a book store. Shows change through the year, and the gallery announces them ahead of time.
